There's no other documentation (apart from the source) but most are 
repetitions and conversions:

For example "\df int4" returns 8 identically named casts to cover 
converting from numeric, real, smallint etc. There is a similar list for 
int2 and most other types in the system.

Likewise "\df int*mod" will show a set of modulo-calculation functions 
for various sizes of integer.

So - they're not explicitly documented as separate functions, but they 
implement operators and public functions that are.
